000: Ground ZeroOkay, so my name is Kurai, the one with the raven colored hair, just so you know. It was an ordinary Tuesday, or Kayōbi, if anything can be said to be ordinary in post-apocalyptic Tokyo. If you are visiting from an alternative universe, time traveling,...

001: Neon WalkThe dimly lit room was a haven amidst the chaos of post-apocalyptic Tokyo. Flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows on the walls, revealing posters of pre-apocalypse bands and movies. There was two of us hanging out, prepping for a walkabout. I’m...

002: Enigmatic EntranceThe sun was casting this golden glow over Tokyo, making the city look almost magical. Rin and I, rocking our matching black tennis outfits with these edgy fishnet nylons, were heading to our school’s tennis courts. Tennis was our thing, you...

003: Night ShadowsTokyo, once a city of lights and endless energy, lay in ruins, a haunting testament to the world's end. The remnants of its once-glorious skyscrapers cast long, jagged shadows on the cracked streets below. The air was thick with a mix of despair and...

004: Temple RefugeThe subway, a relic of a bygone era, was eerily silent. The once-bustling platform was now covered in a thick layer of dust and grime. The tracks, devoid of trains for years, seemed to stretch endlessly into the abyss. My footsteps echoed in the vast...

007: Akuma's LizardThe sun was blazing overhead, its rays warming up the school grounds. Everywhere I looked, students were lost in their own worlds, laughing and chatting away. Rin and I had settled under our usual spot, the cherry blossom tree, with our bento boxes...

008: FlashlightsRin, Hiroshi and I, now bound by friendship and a shared defiance against the dark forces that roamed our city, hatched a plan to confront Akuma, the ancient demon that had been terrorizing our shattered world, and us in particular. I clutched a...

009: Love PowerAlone in the solitude of my room, I found myself consumed by the gravity of the situation. Rin, confined to her own space, surrounded by a multitude of dubious doctors attempting to mend the fragments of her shattered memory. Hiroshi, stripped of his...

010: Golden DragonBack at home, I wondered what to do next. How could I find and defeat Akuma, not with flashlights and force, but with love? The words of Reina echoed in my mind as I started my journey back to the warehouse. "Feel love, fill with love, see with...

011: Well BegunThe dense fog, which had shrouded the area in a mysterious veil, began to lift, gradually unveiling the clear, starlit sky above. Rin and Hiroshi, who had somehow found me (perhaps with Hiroshi tracking) had been observing the extraordinary events from...
